Super excited about this. I have a couple ideas I've been rattling around that would be much easier to pull with boards that already have wifi/mesh over trying to get a bunch of xbees/arduino parts.

We rolled this out last night! You now get the locations and proper "photo taken at" timestamps if the data exists in Instagram.

Haha, definitely agree. It was mostly a fun exercise for us to build for the community so people can send a copy of their Instagram photos over to Flickr. We love data portability and we also understand both Instagram and Flickr are busines

It was mostly for the fun of building it and using a couple APIs that were new to us. We use APIs all day long at Cloudsnap so this was more of a fun exercise for the community to use if they want to send a copy of their Instagram photos ov

It is very likely that you will not be the only person to show up to the event by yourself. If they have set ahead some time for forming teams then that is a great opportunity to meet new developers/designers/etc to work with. I've particip

Not to get completely off the OP, but I would be interested to hear your reasons for not thinking Reno would be good for a startup founder and specifically how Las Vegas would be different. I don't disagree with you, just looking for an out

This is how Burning Man did their tickets this year. It didn't work out very well for them but I think it would work well for something like this. You'd get a better distribution of devs and people just looking to get "free" devices.

Agreed. There are many times I just want to sort favorite repositories that I want to refer to later. I've thought many times about building this using the Github API (like what Favoritizer does for Etsy) but then you would have a whole dif

Agreed. Using the dock connector with a legitimate product requires you to join Apple's "Made for iPhone" program. For a device like Square that works on multiple platforms, the audio jack is a common interface and the Square reader has the

Right, this only takes hiring into account based solely on the external motivation of money. Money only works as a motivator so long as basic (and intermediate) needs are met. This kind of behavior is how I perceive a lot of hiring takes pl

We organized and hosted Hack4Reno, which was Reno's first open data hackathon and what we discovered is that the government is listening but they are not equipped with the knowledge or the tools to provide the information in a useful, meani

I run a coworking space in Reno and as soon as I saw these, I knew that I wanted to have them installed in the space so that we can make better use of heating/cooling with people coming/going, etc. As luck may have it, one of our members wo

Ahh where to start. Our goal is 50 developers & designers in teams of up to 4 and we're already up to 25 registered. We will definitely exceed the 50 goal before October 15th gets here. The Reno hacker community is starting to bubble a

The best example of a fashion startup I've seen is Indochino (www.indochino.com). They were faced with many of these issues and have gone and taken full control of their end to end supply chain. They are selling "physical fucking product" b

Tinychat is the only one of these that doesn't sound like baby talk. Skype has done well and become a verb ("Skype me") and I don't see anyone asking to voxox, oovoo, or goober me anytime soon. There is a big gap out there for someone to of
